Chapter 598: Revenge of the Organ Coffin
Chen Ziyang, who was holding the rifle he took from Yang Lei, had a solemn face, and the countless living dead in front of him were definitely not something he could stop alone.
But now Liu Cong saw that the ship was about to sink, and he was leading his team members to go crazy to find the iron book, ignoring other things, and Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai had to destroy the coffin, otherwise it would be useless even if everyone escaped, so now he was left alone to deal with these things.
But fortunately, because of the influence of the influx of seawater, the speed of the living dead is not fast, and there are even many living dead who fall under the impact of the seawater, which causes obstacles to the living dead in the rear, it seems that these living dead cannot rush to their front in a short time, so there is still a little time to think about other things.
Chen Ziyang feels that the main problem now is whether he can find a way to escape. It was a very difficult thing to do, and the whole cargo ship had no other place to drill out of this huge tin can, except for the cracks under the hull that had been cut by the saber.
The crack under the hull is frantically pouring into the sea, judging from the height of the splash, the speed of the water rushing in is very fast, there is no way to drill out of the crack, let alone drill out, it is very difficult to stand firm in the place a little closer to the crack, otherwise the living dead would have rushed over.
"Wait! Fissure! ”
Chen Ziyang, who thought of the crack under the hull that was cut by the final blow of the saber, suddenly remembered that when he inserted the air duct into the hull of Bai Lang Maru before, he had seen a hole in the hull, and that hole was also where the third air duct was inserted.
The conduit was inserted very deep into the breach, which most likely had penetrated the entire hull. And judging from the position of the breach on the White Wave Pill, it is very likely that the breach is near here.
Although the area of the breach is not large enough for people to pass through directly, since the place is broken, the surrounding steel structure must be very fragile, and there may be a way to make the hole bigger, if this can be done, the hole is the hope for everyone to escape from here.
After two gunshots, Chen Ziyang shot and killed the two living dead who were about to rush over, and while the other living dead were still tossing near the splash, and there was no way to get close, he hurriedly used a flashlight to shine on the nearby bulkhead, trying to find the location of the hole in the cabin.
After tossing and turning on the white wave pill for so long, it was already dark when everyone arrived at the cargo hold on this side, and it was impossible for light to shine in from the hole, so if you want to find the hole in the hull, you can only rely on the naked eye.
After shooting out a shuttle of bullets and eliminating many of the living dead who had broken through the splash one after another, Chen Ziyang finally saw that there seemed to be a hole in the side wall of the warehouse a little farther away.
Moving some distance in that direction, Chen Ziyang found that if this was the case, there was indeed a hole above the pitch-black bulkhead, although he couldn't see the situation outside the hole, but judging from the location, he was very sure that the hole was the place where he had inserted the airway before.
But what Chen Ziyang didn't expect was that this hole was not open at the bottom of the hull as he had seen before, but was much higher than the floor, almost more than three meters from the floor. After a little thought, Chen Ziyang understood the reason.
When the white wave pill sank to the bottom of the sea before, there should have been a layer of mud and sand under the hull that was not too thick, and the hull was tilted to a certain extent at that time, so this breach was exposed on the surface of the sediment, and I mistakenly thought that this breach was open at the bottom of the cabin.
Even if the breach is higher, the most troublesome thing for Chen Ziyang is that the location of the breach is behind the living dead, if you want to get there, you have to walk through the living dead, this group of damn things has blocked the only place that can leave.
At this time, there was more and more water in the cabin, and it was almost up to Chen Ziyang's waist, and the tumbling sea water made it more difficult for the living dead to pass through, and more and more living dead gathered directly below the breach, but there were still many living dead who were washed over along the edge of the splash after falling into the seawater.
While using a rifle to stop the scattered living dead, Chen Ziyang was running his brain quickly, thinking about how to escape outside through this breach, and at this time, a dazzling fire came from the direction behind him, and Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai finally lit the coffin.
After separating from Chen Ziyang, the two of them took a lot of effort to find the gasoline drum in the dark cabin with only one corner exposed outside the seawater, and then the two of them moved the gasoline drum to the side of the coffin, and at this time the two of them found that the coffin had been closed.
After gritting their teeth and paying some blood, the coffin was opened again, and the two men put the gasoline canister next to the coffin. However, the stopper on the gasoline barrel was so rusty that it couldn't be pried open at all, so Umbrella Shishuai poked a few holes in the middle of the gasoline barrel with a dagger. After a while, half a barrel of gasoline flowed into the coffin, and it overflowed a lot, drenching the outside of the coffin.
The coffin was located on top of a pile of goods, and both of them knew that at the current rate of rising seawater, it would not be long before the water would reach the place of the coffin, and there was not much time left to make the coffin burn. So the two ignited the gasoline in the coffin without thinking.
They don't know if the flames have an effect on this coffin, whether the remaining time can denature the magnet that made the coffin, whether it can make the strange magnetic field emitted from the coffin disappear, they don't know, everything that needs to be done has been done, whether it can work depends on the creation of these people.
The moment the gasoline was ignited, a thick blue flame rose into the sky, then turned yellow, and the fire instantly engulfed the coffin. A strange noise came from the coffin.
It sounded as if countless people had come together and were complaining at the same time. Yang Lei lifted his ears, but found that he couldn't hear any sound at all, but the scream just now still echoed in his mind.
It wasn't until he glanced at Umbrella Shishuai and saw a hint of surprise in Umbrella Shishuai's eyes that Yang Lei knew that the shouting just now should not be an illusion, and Umbrella Shishuai also heard it, but the two of them heard it directly with their brains, not their ears.
"Old umbrella, run, this thing is too evil, it's better to stay away, let's go find Eryang." After Yang Lei finished speaking, he waded waist-deep sea water with Umbrella Shishuai and ran effortlessly in the direction of Chen Ziyang.
Before the two men could take a few steps out, a loud bang echoed through the cabin, and at the same time, the hull creaked in all directions, as if the hull was twisting and deforming under great pressure.
Before Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai could figure out what was going on, the two of them suddenly felt that the floor under their feet was tilting forward rapidly, and it was tilting faster and faster.
"Not good! The boat is pouting! With Yang Lei's shout, a large amount of seawater poured down from behind the two people because of the tilt of the hull.
As the angle of inclination of the hull increases, so does the downflow of seawater. Before, the two of them tried to run forward in the sea water, but they didn't run a few steps before they were slapped into the sea by the raging sea water behind them.
Shi Shuai, who had just put his head out of the water, suddenly felt that the cabin was much brighter, and he hurriedly turned around and saw the scene he least wanted to see.
The gasoline barrels, which had been burned red by the fire, tumbled and fell into the seawater, and the flames spread out on the surface of the sea in an instant, and the gasoline floating on the sea water flowed with the flames.
"This damn coffin will be finished soon, and it will hurt people!" Umbrella Shi Shuai cursed and hurriedly swam forward.
Fortunately, because the cabin was relatively wide, and after the rapid tilt of the hull, it slowly fell back a little, and the sea water in the cabin swayed, making the flames move a lot slower, otherwise they would be engulfed by the fire in an instant.
After a few violent shakes, the hull stabilized, but the distorted sound coming from the hull grew louder and louder.
Piece after piece of cargo fell from the back of the coffin, starting with small goods, and then large boxes smashing down one after another, falling into the sea with a high splash.
Umbrella Shishuai dodged the smashed goods, while swimming in the direction of Chen Ziyang, and when he and Chen Ziyang met, the two found that Yang Lei was missing, and they didn't know whether they were engulfed by the fire or hit by the falling goods.
The tilted hull of the ship did a great favor, and the number of the living dead was washed away by the sea, and it seemed that these things could not swim at all, and they were probably sunk into the sea, and the threat was lost.
And because of the sinking of the hull and the rise of the water surface, the breach that was more than three meters high from the floor was only one meter away from the water surface, and it was not difficult to go up to this height.
However, the problem of export was solved, but Yang Lei lost it. There was no verbal exchange, Chen Ziyang and Umbrella Shishuai closed their breath at the same time and dived into the sea to find Yang Lei's traces.
Two flashlight beams kept shaking under the pitch black water, and after a while, the two flashlights gathered in one place. Yang Lei was half-squatting on the sloping floor underwater, stepping on the wooden floor with his feet, pedaling desperately, seemingly trying to float to the water, but he couldn't get up.
Chen Zi Yang Meng slapped his head underwater, and he only remembered at this time that Yang Lei didn't know how many gold bars were in his backpack, so it was no wonder that this kid couldn't get up after sinking into the water.
But this kid is really greedy enough, as long as he throws away his backpack, he can easily float to the water, but Yang Lei would rather hold his breath underwater than throw away his bag containing gold.
After swimming to Yang Lei's side, Chen Ziyang grabbed Yang Lei's backpack strap and pulled it aside, wanting to get the backpack off Yang Lei's body, but Yang Lei stretched out a hand, grabbed Chen Ziyang's hand and backpack belt, and shook his head desperately, it seemed that he was unwilling to throw down this pocket of gold at all.
In desperation, Chen Ziyang and Umbrella Shishuai had no choice but to grab the two backpack straps on Yang Lei's body alone, and the two of them used all their strength together, coupled with Yang Lei's desperate cooperation, this surfaced.
"You will one day die for your greed for money." Chen Ziyang scolded hatefully.
"Man dies for money, and birds die for food." Yang Lei coughed and replied confidently.
"What about Liu Cong, why hasn't their people appeared yet?" Umbrella Shishuai looked at the other side of the sea of fire and asked worriedly.
Chen Ziyang also turned his head to look. Because the sea water was flowing downward, the coffin was a little higher above the water, and the flames should have enough time to destroy the magnetism of the magnet that made the coffin.
The coffin was so heavy that it didn't fall into the sea like the rest of the cargo. Under the high temperature of the flames, some of the thinner places on the edge of the coffin were already burned red.
At this time, many goods around the coffin that did not fall into the sea water also burned together, and the high-temperature flames formed a wall of fire, and there was still no figure of Liu Cong and others behind the wall of fire, and I don't know what happened to them.
"I can't care so much, let's find a way to expand that breach first, and see if we can escape first." Seeing the flames on the water getting closer and closer to the three people, Chen Ziyang said anxiously.
After swimming to the breach, with the help of Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai, Chen Ziyang climbed up.
After looking around with the flashlight, he found that the cargo hold of the original Bailang Pill was a double-layer cabin, the outermost layer was a shell made of iron plates, and the inner layer was an inner wall of the cargo hold made of wooden planks, and there was a gap of more than one meter and less than two meters between the two.
This double-deck structure is very common, and it is usually used when transporting important cargo, and if the outer hull is damaged in the event of an impact, the inner bulkhead can still play a role in protecting the cargo. At the same time, the gap between the inner and outer hulls also facilitates the maintenance of the hull.
The two hulls that were originally intended to protect the cargo now act like two barriers, isolating the three from the outside world. It's a good thing, but if you want to escape, you'll need to destroy an extra layer of hull.
Time was pressing, Chen Ziyang took out the Xuanming Ancient Sword without saying a word, and with the help of the sharp blade, he desperately expanded the holes in the wooden inner hull, and after a while, he cut off a large number of wooden planks.
Chen Ziyang, who was standing on this hole, leaned forward, pressed the outer steel hull with his left, and slashed at the steel hull with the Xuanming Ancient Sword in his right hand.
When the sword of "......" fell, Chen Ziyang's hands were numb, he didn't expect that the hull of the ship that had been broken with a hole would be so hard, and the Xuanming Ancient Sword couldn't cut it at all.
